Slony is quite a heavy beast to install, I'm pretty sure now that I
think about it that you don't want to go that way.
What you probably want is to:
* make a separate schema dump + data dump;
* apply the schema dump to the old box and manually fix errors;
* possibly drop indexes/constraints so the data loading goes faster;
* load the data to the 8.0 box - theoretically here you shouldn't have big problems, but I'm not sure about that;
* recreate indexes/constraints if you dropped them;
The index/constraint thing is a concern if you have big amount of data, otherwise I wouldn't touch it.
HTH,
